Dear Allah (ith), You may indeed be an expert on born losers, but we Jews are experts on being Chosen. On behalf of Cubs and Red Sox fans everywhere, therefore, I ask of you the same question that many of us have asked Adonai Elohim in our manifold times of distress: bq. "Isn't it about time you chose somebody else?" Like maybe the Yankees, for instance. Seriously, O Greatest and Most Radiant One, perhaps it is time you simply took the f---ing hint. Somehow, going after New York and the Jews always seems like a good idea at the time. Somehow, it always ends in naqba. Give it up, pull up a skybox seat in Dar-al-Harb Stadium, and turn the radiant face of your impeccable record on a franchise more deserving of the kind of support bestowed this year on teams under the favour of your divine countenance. Trust me when I say that this couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Marlins in 6.
